Flavors
The food industry relies on high quality flavors to make many of our favorite foods stand out from the crowd, whether it’s ice creams and pastries, or sauces and baby foods. GEA has supplied for more than 50 years the food industry with equipment, processing lines and complete solutions so that flavor manufacturers can produce innovative ingredients, safely, consistently and efficiently.
GEA understands that flavor manufacturers need to offer a wide range of flavors to support the food and beverage industry as they develop new and exciting products for highly competitive global markets. Our equipment and industry expertise support our customers as they create authentic new tastes, while staying flexible, reducing operating costs and minimizing resource use.
Processing with care for flavor manufacturing
Our capabilities span the supply of standalone equipment and the configuration and installation of integrated flavor processing plants for small- and large-scale production. Whether or not you already have a specific formulation, we can support you in defining an emulsification and spray drying solution with optimized process capacity and yield, with particular focus on quality and stability of the final powdered flavor.
The essence of a flavor factory
Just as the heart of a home is the kitchen, so the heart of a food flavoring factory is its spray dryer. But although the spray dryers at Mother Murphy’s had given exemplary service for many decades, they needed to be replaced. The existing facility in Greensboro had reached capacity, so the company decided to build a new facility on a site nearby and equip it with the most advanced mixing and drying technology available to meet the high level of demand for its products and enhance the flexibility of its entire operation to support its unique market position.
